Creating an Announcement
- Enter the appropriate information for your announcement. Note that in the description field, you have many options to do formatting and insert content.
- Under Availability, enter the date and time you want the announcement to be posted (default start date is current day and time). If you want the announcement to disappear from the student view, you need to set an end date. You can also set an end time if you want the announcement to disappear later.
- Attachments will allow you to attach any files needed for the announcement. Can also record a brief audio or video message. Please note: Lengthy audio or video recordings (such as lectures) should be done using the Yuja Platform and should not be recorded using the recording tool within Brightspace.
- The third settings area, Release Conditions, will allow you to set the announcement to not appear to students until they have finished another task, such as submitting an assignment.
- When you are done selecting the setting for your announcement, select the Publish button.
